BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0020] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a pet food
packaging body according to an embodiment of the present
invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0021] In the present specification, the term "pet" indicates an
animal that has been bred by a person. In a narrower sense, a pet
is an animal cared for by the owner. In addition, the "pet food"
indicates feed for pets. The pet food of the present embodiment can
be sold as the "feed for animals" or "food for animals."
[0022] <Method of Measuring Moisture Content>
[0023] The moisture content of the pet food (unit: % by mass) is
acquired by a normal pressure heating and drying method. The
moisture content acquired by this method includes the moisture in
the ingredients (including meat flakes and mock meat pieces)
[0024] (Normal Pressure Heating and Drying Method)
[0025] The mass (W1 gram) of an aluminum weighing can is measured
in advance as a constant weight value. A sample is put into the
aluminum weighing can and the mass (W2 grain) weighed. Next, the
sample is dried under the conditions of 135.degree. C. for 2 hours
using a forced circulation type hot air drier. The sample stands
and cools in a dry atmosphere (in a silica gel desiccator) and the
mass thereof (W3 gram) is weighed. The moisture content is acquired
from the obtained respective mass values using the following
equation.
Moisture Content(Unit: % by Mass)=(W2-W3)/(W2-W1).times.100
[0026] <Pet Food Packaging Body>
[0027] A pet food packaging body of the present invention is
configured such that different kinds of pet food are accommodated
in each of a plurality of accommodating portions included a
packaging container.
[0028] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a pet food
packaging body according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The reference numeral 1 represents a pet food packaging body, the
reference numerals 2a and 2b respectively represents an
accommodating portion, the reference numerals 3a and 3b
respectively represents an individual container, and the reference
numeral 4 represents a perforation.
[0029] A packaging container 5 of a pet food packaging body 1
according to the present embodiment is configured such that two
individual containers 3a and 3b in a bag shape respectively having
one accommodating portion 2a and one accommodating portion 2b are
separably connected to each other by a perforation 4. The four
sides of the accommodating portions 2a and 2b of the individual
containers 3a and 3b are respectively sealed and pet food is
accommodated in each of the accommodating portions 2a and 2b. The
pet food in the accommodating portion 2a on one side is different
from the pet food in the accommodating portion 2b on the other
side. In each of the individual containers 3a and 3b, notches
(cuts) 6a and 6b are respectively formed at an opening
position.
[0030] The packaging container 5 of the present embodiment is
formed of a material for retort sterilization.
[0031] A surface of the packaging container 5 includes first
display portions 7a and 7b which are respectively included in the
individual container 3a and the individual container 3b and on
which the same drawing pattern is displayed; second display
portions 8a and 8b which are respectively included in the
individual container 3a and the individual container 3b and on
which the different drawing patterns are displayed; and a third
display portion 9 on which an integrated drawing pattern is
displayed from the individual container 3a to the individual
container 3h. That is, the third display portion 9 is provided
across the two individual containers 3a and 3b adjacent to each
other.
[0032] [Pet Food]
[0033] A preferred embodiment of pet food accommodated in the pet
food packaging body 1 is wet type pet food at a moisture content of
70% by mass or greater. Specifically, pet food formed of solid
ingredients and a soup portion is preferable. The upper limit of
the moisture content is preferably 98% by mass or less and more
preferably 90% by mass or less.
[0034] The solid ingredients are not particularly limited. Examples
of the solid ingredients include meat (such as chicken, beef, lamb,
pork, and meat processed products); seafood (such as tuna, bonito,
sardine, barracuda, sea bream, flounder, mackerel, horse mackerel,
and seafood processed products); milk (such as cow's milk, a milk
protein concentrate, and cheese); eggs (such as egg white, egg
yolk, and egg processed products); vegetables (such as cabbage,
spinach, pumpkin, broccoli, green pepper, carrots, burdock,
potatoes, asparagus, soybeans, beans, green peas, and vegetable
processed products); cereals (such as wheat, corn, and cereal
processed products); and mushrooms (such as shitake mushroom and
mushroom).
[0035] It is preferable that the ingredients are used in
combination of two or more kinds thereof. In the present
specification, in a case where two or more ingredients are used,
among the solid ingredients contained in the pet food, an
ingredient having the highest content is defined as a main
ingredient and ingredients other than the main ingredient are
defined as auxiliary ingredients.
[0036] It is preferable that the main ingredient is one ingredient
selected from the group (A) consisting of chicken, meat, lamb,
pork, tuna, bonito, sardine, barracuda, sea bream, flounder,
mackerel, and horse mackerel.
[0037] The content of the main ingredient is preferably in a range
of 50% to 99% by mass, more preferably in a range of 60% to 95% by
mass, and still more preferably in a range of 70% to 90% by mass
with respect to the total content of the solid ingredients.
[0038] As the auxiliary ingredients, it is preferable that one or
more ingredients other than the main ingredient are selected from
the solid ingredients exemplified above and used.
[0039] Further, in a case where pet food is formed of two kinds of
solid ingredients and the content of each ingredient is 50% by
mass, an ingredient included in the group (A) is defined as the
main ingredient and the other ingredient which is not included in
the group (A) is defined as an auxiliary ingredient. In a case
where two kinds of solid ingredients are all included in the group
(A), an ingredient having a larger maximum major diameter is
defined as the main ingredient and the other ingredient is defined
as the auxiliary ingredient.
[0040] The soup portion may be in a liquid state or in a gel state.
Among substances in a gel state, it is typically said that a
substance with a relatively low fluidity is in a jelly state and a
substance with a relatively high fluidity is in a gelee state, but
there is not clear boundary.
[0041] The soup portion contains water, but may contain materials
other than water. Examples of the materials other than water
include seasonings, thickeners, saccharides, fats and oils, and
additives (such as preservatives and palatability enhancers).
[0042] The content of water in the soup portion is adjusted such
that the moisture content in the entirety of the pet food is set to
a desired value.
[0043] As the thickeners, known thickeners can be used as
appropriate. It is preferable that a thickener contains a
polysaccharide thickener.
[0044] Examples of the polysaccharide thickener include one or more
kinds selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, alginate,
alginic acid ester, gum Arabic, curdlan, carrageenan, carboxymethyl
cellulose (CMC), locust bean gum, xanthan gum, guar gum, psyllium
seed gum, gellan gum, tamarind seed gum, tara gum, pullulan,
pectin, methyl cellulose (MC), glucomannan, and mannan.
[0045] The pet food of the present embodiment is obtained by mixing
the solid ingredients and the soup portion.
[0046] Only the materials of the soup portion may be mixed in
advance or the ingredients and the materials of the soup portion
may be collectively mixed.
[0047] The content of the solid ingredients is preferably in a
range of 25% to 60% by mass and more preferably in a range of 40%
to 50% by mass with respect to the total content of the solid
ingredients and the soup portion. In a case where the content of
the solid ingredients is greater than or equal to the
above-described lower limit, excellent palatability is easily
obtained. Further, in a case where the content thereof is less than
or equal to the upper limit, excellent workability is easily
obtained during a process of filling the accommodating portions 2a
and 2b with the pet food.
[0048] <Method of Producing Pet Food Packaging Body>
[0049] The pet food packaging body 1 of the present embodiment can
be produced according to a method of filling the accommodating
portions 2a and 2b of the packaging container 5 with different
kinds of pet food individually and simultaneously; degassing the
inside of the accommodating portions 2a and 2b; and sealing the
accommodating portions 2a and 2b collectively.
[0050] According to this method, it is possible to obtain twice the
production efficiency when compared to a case where two kinds of
pet food packaging bodies are separately produced using a method of
filling a packaging container having one accommodating portion with
pet food, degassing the inside of the container, and sealing the
container. In addition, a process of combining two kinds of pet
food packaging bodies which are separately provided and
accommodating the packaging bodies in a large bag is
unnecessary.
[0051] Further, from the viewpoint that the pet food packaging body
1 can be stored in a long period of time, it is preferable that a
retort sterilization treatment is performed by carrying out a heat
treatment or a pressurizing treatment known in the field after the
pet food is sealed with the accommodating portions 2a and 2b of the
packaging container 5 formed of a packaging material for retort
sterilization. The retort sterilization process is not particularly
limited as long as sterilization is carried out under conditions in
which the pet food is sufficiently sterilized, and it is preferable
that sterilization is carried out under conditions in which the
flavor of pet food after the sterilization treatment does not
deteriorate. The retort sterilization treatment can be performed
using a method of performing a heat treatment in a temperature
range of 110.degree. C. to 130.degree. C. for 20 minutes to 50
minutes.
[0052] The pet food packaging body 1 of the present embodiment is
configured such that two kinds of pet food are respectively and
individually accommodated in the accommodating portions 2a and
2b.
[0053] Accordingly, for example, in the meal for one day, the owner
can feed a pet with pet food accommodated in the accommodating
portion 2a on one side during the first meal and then feed the pet
with the other pet food accommodated in the accommodating portion
2b on the other side during the second meal. In this manner, it is
possible to easily prevent a pet from being continuously fed with
the same pet food. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a pet from
being sated with the pet food or eliminate such a problem.
[0054] Particularly, the pet food of the present embodiment is of a
wet type and is suitable for a method of feeding a pet with pet
food obtained by mixing wet type pet food with granular pet food.
It is possible to prevent a pet from being sated with pet food or
eliminate such a problem by mixing wet type pet food with granular
pet food that is usually provided for the pet so that the flavor of
the pet food is changed.
[0055] In a case where the kind of granular pet food itself is
changed when a pet is sated with the granular pet food which is
usually provided for the pet, the pet may not eat at all.
[0056] Further, there is a tendency that a pet prefers (high
palatability) wet type pet food rather than granular pet food.
Accordingly, stable palatability is easily obtained even when the
taste of wet type pet food is changed.
[0057] Since it is possible to prevent a pet from being sated with
pet food or eliminate such a problem without changing the type of
granular pet food itself, it is preferable that the pet food of the
present embodiment is provided for a pet as a mixture with granular
pet food.
[0058] The pet food which includes a soup portion in a jelly state
or in a gelee state is suitable for preventing a pet from being
sated with pet food or eliminating such a problem since the pet
food is easily entangled with granular pet food.
[0059] In the pet food packaging body 1 of the present embodiment,
one or more from among the main ingredients, the auxiliary
ingredients, and the soup portions are different from each other
between the two kinds of pet food respectively accommodated in the
accommodating portions 2a and 2b.
[0060] For example, a mode (i) in which the main ingredients are
the same as each other and one or more auxiliary ingredients are
different from each other; a mode (ii) in which the main
ingredients are different from each other and one or more auxiliary
ingredients are different from each other, or a mode (iii) in which
the main ingredients are different from each other and the
auxiliary ingredients are the same as each other may be
employed.
[0061] Alternatively, a mode (iv) in which the main ingredients are
the same as each other, the auxiliary ingredients are the same as
each other, and the compositions of the soup portions are different
from each other may be employed. In a case where the compositions
of the soup portions are different from each other, it is
preferable that one or both of the flavor and the fluidity between
the soup portions are different from each other.
[0062] Since a pet has a strong palatability, the pet may eat less
or may not eat at all in a case where the taste of pet food is
changed. For this reason, there is a tendency that the owner of a
pet is cautious about changing the taste of pet food and
continuously purchases the same pet food that is preferred by the
pet. However, according to the findings of the present inventors,
in a case where the same pet food is provided for a pet every day,
a problem in that there is no change in meal so that the pet is
sated with the pet food and a problem in that the owner's request
to provide various kinds of food from the viewpoint of the
nutritional balance is not satisfied may occur.
[0063] According to the mode (i), since the main ingredients of a
plurality of kinds of pet food accommodated in the pet food
packaging body are same as each other and the auxiliary ingredients
thereof are different from each other, this mode is preferable from
the viewpoint that the palatability of a pet is stably maintained
and the meal can be easily changed. Therefore, it is possible to
prevent a pet from being sated with pet food or eliminate such a
problem and the owner can be easily satisfied with providing a meal
with different food materials without providing the same pet food
every day.
[0064] According to the mode (ii), since the main ingredients of a
plurality of kinds of pet food accommodated in the pet food
packaging body are different from each other and the auxiliary
ingredients thereof are different from each other, this mode is
preferable from the viewpoint that the meal can be easily changed.
Particularly, it is easy to obtain satisfaction of the owner who
wants to provide various kinds of food materials.
[0065] According to the mode (iii), since the main ingredients of a
plurality of kinds of pet food accommodated in the pet food
packaging body are different from each other and the auxiliary
ingredients thereof are the same as each other, this mode is
preferable from the viewpoint that the meal can be easily changed.
Particularly, it is easy to obtain satisfaction of the owner who
wants to provide variation to the main ingredients.
[0066] According to the mode (iv), since the main ingredients of a
plurality of kinds of pet food accommodated in the pet food
packaging body are the same as each other and the auxiliary
ingredients thereof are the same as each other, this mode is
preferable from the viewpoint that the meal can be easily changed
while stably maintaining the palatability of a pet.
[0067] In the present embodiment, it is preferable that an amount
of pet food to be used in one occasion is accommodated in each of
the accommodating portions 2a and 2b. It is not necessary to
preserve the unused portion after opening in a case where the
amount of pet food is set to an amount to be used in one occasion.
Therefore, it is possible to easily maintain the freshness.
[0068] For example, the amount of wet type pet food to be used in
one occasion in a case where the pet food is used as a mixture with
granular pet food is preferably in a range of 20 to 40 g and more
preferably in a range of 25 to 35 g.
[0069] The pet food packaging body 1 of the present embodiment is
preferable in terms of hygiene because two individual containers 3a
and 3b can be easily separated from each other due to the
perforation 4 so that the individual containers 3a and 3b can be
disposed immediately after use. The portion where two individual
containers 3a and 3b are connected with each other is not limited
as long as the two individual containers 3a and 3b can be easily
separated from each other. Further, a weakening line other
perforation may be provided.
[0070] In the pet food packaging body 1 of the present embodiment,
an integrated display portion (third display portion 9) extending
over two individual containers 3a and 3b can be provided by
connecting the two individual containers 3a and 3b with each other.
Therefore, the area of the display portion (third display portion
9) can be increased and the visibility can be improved.
[0071] In the pet food packaging body 1 of the present embodiment,
the second display portions 8a and 8b having different drawing
patterns can be respectively provided in two individual containers
3a and 3b, and thus the degree of freedom in design is high.
[0072] Further, the pet food packaging body 1 of the present
embodiment includes two accommodating portions 2a and 2b, but the
number of accommodating portions may be 3 or greater. In a case
where the number of accommodating portions 3 or greater, it is
preferable that the accommodating portions are filled with three or
more kinds of pet food. It is preferable that the number of
accommodating portions is the same as the number of kinds of pet
food.
[0073] Further, the individual containers 3a and 3b of the pet food
packaging body 1 of the present embodiment respectively have a bag
shape, but the shape thereof is not limited to a bag shape. For
example, a shape in which a plurality of individual containers
respectively having a bottomed hollow shape and an opening sealed
with a film are separably connected to each other may be
employed.
